What’s New in Kindle DX?
Kindle DX comes with the larger screen is a definite plus. I use the larger type size on my Kindle 2 (older eyes), and at this type size I get far more text per page on the DX. This makes the whole reading experience more book-like and should be a boon to people who buy large-print books. The screen is also sharper and crisper than my Kindle 2 in a side-by-side comparison: the text is darker, and the contrast is much better, making for better visibility overall.
On a side note, the larger screen also makes it possible to read poetry on the kindle reader, even at large type sizes. On earlier Kindles, the smaller screen cut off lines, so that you would lose the sense of when the poet ended the line. On the DX, you can see the whole line exactly as the poet meant it, with the cut-off in the right spot.
The PDF reader totality as advertised, and is extremely accessible. PDF documents appear on the DX exactly as they do on a computer screen. Moreover, you can pull and drop your documents direct to the device using the USB line (or use the for-a-fee email if you perfectly must.) The only downside: at least for the documents that I’ve used so far, I cannot adjust the type size as I can with native Kindle documents.
The screen rotation also works as advertised: it operates as a mild zoom on both graphics and text and offsets slightly the downside of not being able to adjust the typesize on PDF documents. One nice designing touch: the four-way direction joystick introduced on the Kindle 2 is rotation-sensitive, and give relocation as expectable relative to the display movement.
And many of the style space is devoted to the screen, while the whiteness plastic boundary around the screen seems to get shrunk, both in comprehensive and compared to the proportion of display to plastic on the Kindle 2. I like this (but see beneath around the keyboard).
I like the increase in storage space, and don’t mind the lack of an external storage card. I can see several group having strive with this, but only those folks who either must regularly bring around PDF documents totalling more than 3.5 GB of space or must have nearly 3500 books regularly at their fingertips. I fall in neither category.
With Kindle DX has long battery lifetime, you can read on a single charge for up to 7 days with wireless on. Turn wireless off and read for up to 2 weeks. Battery lifetime will vary supported on wireless usage, much as shopping the Kindle Store and downloading content. In low-coverage areas or in EDGE/GPRS-only coverage, kindle dx wireless usage will consume battery power more quickly.
Included In the Box:
- Kindle DX electronic reader,
- U.S. power adapter (supports 100V-240V), and
- USB 2.0 cable (for connection to the Kindle DX power adapter or to connect to a computer).
